To: Psalm 73

True Story:

Thirty Five years ago, when I first came to Christ, a friend loaned me the book “Ben Hur” by Gen. Lew Wallace. I already loved the movie, but the book was wonderful. I read it, returned it, and lost touch with the friend. For 35 years I have searched book Stores, Yard sales, and thrift shops to find that book.

This Christmas, I found it in a thrift store, hardcover, pen and ink illustrations on every page, color plates throughout, and it looks as though it had never even been opened or read.

For $2.99.

Of course, I could have downloaded it from the Internet, but this was MUCH better!

Merry Christmas! :-)
